[@espn_macmahon] P.J. Washington is on the path to Dallas cult hero status after an iconic pose and some superstar protective services in a playoff win. “Always got to protect 77 at all costs,” Washington told ESPN.

1. That was a cool moment. Best part being PJ just laughing off Westbrick’s aggression. He definitely moved up the dawg ladder, not that the home builder is a worthy adversary of his anyway.

2. Tim MacMahon has been real positive since that time Kidd dressed him down about being negative all the time and told him that people would read positive articles, too. Sure it could be that the team is playing better but I prefer the narrative that he hadn’t considered that people like to read things that make them feel good.

3. Love this man.

4. Anime thingy. He controls and manipulates defense with his eyes.

5. Even early on, when everyone was salivating over Gafford (rigtfuly so) and PJW couldnt throw a rock in the ocean, I was saying he is the most important addition in ages. Dude is legit, brings toughness and elite defense and filled position of biggest need (big pf).
